1602 Isaiah 63


For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee :
and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God
rejoice over thee.
¶ I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall
never hold their peace day nor night : ye that make mention of the
Lord, keep not silence,
and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a
praise in the earth.
The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his
strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine
enemies ; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for
the which thou hast labored :
but they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord ; and
they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my
holiness.
¶ Go through, go through the gates ; prepare ye the way of the
people ; cast up, cast up the highway ; gather out the stones ; lift up a
standard for the people.
Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say
ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh ; behold,
his reward is with him, and his work before him.
And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the
Lord : and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

63

The Day of the Lord’s Vengeance

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from
Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the
greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to
save.
Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him
that treadeth in the winevat?
